Tenuta Dell'ornellaia Le Volte dell’Ornellaia 2011

Reviews and Ratings

Le Volte dell’Ornellaia is produced by the Ornellaia Estate, home of the famous Super Tuscan. The wine is composed of Merlot (50%), Sangiovese (30%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (20%). It contains 14% alcohol and is aged for 10 months in oak barrels previously used for aging their flagship Ornellaia wine. The 2011 Le Volte dell’Ornellaia is a full-bodied wine with aromas of black cherries, prunes and a hint of nutmeg. This well-structured wine needs to be decanted for at least 45 minutes in order to soften its tannins. On the palate, red fruit and a crisp acidity precede a long finish. This wine can be cellared for a few years.Pairing suggestion: steak or roast beef (medium rare).
